As you know, for my latest Economics Test, I had them complete a written long answer part (50%). The students were given a long answer question pool (6 questions) a week in advance. On the test day, they were given 5 questions and told to choose 4 to complete. These questions were very involved and required ALL of class to complete. The days that followed (2 classes), the students needed to find 2 newspaper articles and summarize each (orally). They also needed to state exactly how they directly related to theory discussed in class. This presentation part (50%) had a time restraint. It could only be between 2 and 4 minutes. The rubric for the presentations was also given to the students the week before the test. S.F.
